The essence of perfect harmony has been distilled onto these two discs, capturing the live reunion in September of 1983 at London's Royal Albert Hall. Although it's a bit of a puzzle as to which concert actually got recorded (likely both), it really doesn't matter, because this is as good as it gets.

The single CD version omits far too many of the superb medleys, and in any event, why would you omit any of this concert? The brothers are singing better than ever, they're backed by a crack band of seasoned pros, and the recording is ALMOST flawless.

If there's any complaint, it's that the recording level is lower than it should be, but that's a minor problem at best.

All the hits are here, and in a lot of ways, they're performed better than the originals. Absolutely essential.

The Everly's harmonies have always stood out, but never more so than live on stage. Add to their enormous talent the overwhelming emotion of a reunion, after years of not speaking to each other, and the result is electric.

After so many years of recording and touring together, it's no wonder that they're able to pick up vitually where they off. This is the sound of polished performers who'd honed their act for years. It might be a bit slick, but in a way that only such hugely talented performers can ever accomplish.

In the end, it's great to hear so many classic hits reanimated through the magic of live performance, and it's great to hear Phil and Don singing together again.

The effect of their voices in this reunion is simply awesome. The power of this performance is equal only to seeing them live!

Sound on this disc is terrible. Not worth the money. It's got to be a bootleg! Nowhere near the sound of the first CD!

I just purchased this CD as a gift for a good friend, and she told me that she is very very happy with it.

She said she was really impressed with the sound quality of these recordings, and that all of her favorite songs were included.

Her only minor "complaint" was that some of the comments were a bit hard to hear clearly, but aside from that ..the quality of the music was outstanding.
